Volunteer with Camden Park Scout Group

Camden Park Scout Group provides scouting opportunities for children and youths aged from 5 – 17 running Joey Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts and Venturer Scouts. Scouting is the largest non-formal educational youth organisation in the world and helps people to develop a variety of skills including teamwork, resilience and leadership. This includes adults!

We are seeking volunteer Leaders, Helpers and Committee members to support the great programs our Youth Members are part of. Volunteering is a rewarding opportunity for you to contribute to the community, learn new skills and meet people in our area.

Volunteers are the backbone of our Scout Group, we could not function without them. From volunteers who Lead our Scouts to volunteers who cook bbq’s to volunteers that maintain our Scout Hall, everyone is valued. Some do a lot, some do a little, it’s all valued.
Giving back to your community is one of the greatest things you can do.

The support of Adults is vital to the success of Scouting. Could this be you? Someone in your family or a friend?
For more information please contact our Group Leader to discuss.
